Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated conveying technology, and more particularly to a steering structure for automated conveyor lines. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, automated conveyor lines can quickly and accurately transport raw materials, parts, and other materials from one stage of a warehouse or production line to another, achieving a continuous and efficient production process.

[0003] In the case of two perpendicular conveyor lines, a steering structure is typically installed between them to allow material to change direction. This steering structure is usually a tracked structure or a roller structure. However, both tracked and roller structures have recesses at the connection points with the conveyor lines. When conveying irregularly shaped or angular materials, the materials may get stuck in these recesses due to the simultaneous action of different transport directions. This is especially true for roller structures, which have insufficient material stability during the turning process and are more prone to stagnation, thus affecting the normal conveying of materials.

[0004] At the same time, since the steering structure is usually customized according to the conditions of the production line, its conveying direction and conveying mode are basically fixed. If the steering needs to be changed when adding or moving a machine, it needs to be re-customized, resulting in higher cost expenditures. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention discloses a steering structure for automated conveyor lines, which aims to solve the technical problems of insufficient material stability during the steering process, making it easier for materials to get stuck and affecting the normal conveying of materials, and the need to redesign the steering structure if new or mobile machines are added, resulting in higher costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A steering structure for an automated conveyor line includes an L-shaped transition plate, a first conveyor belt, and a second conveyor belt. The first and second conveyor belts are arranged vertically, and the L-shaped transition plate is located between the first and second conveyor belts. The top of the first conveyor belt is higher than the height of the L-shaped transition plate. An auxiliary steering mechanism is provided on one side of the L-shaped transition plate, and a bottom support mechanism is provided at the bottom end of the L-shaped transition plate. A bottom plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the bottom support mechanism, and a transition mechanism is provided between the L-shaped transition plate and the second conveyor belt.

[0008] The auxiliary steering mechanism includes a support frame two, and a linear guide rail assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame two. A slider one is movably connected to the linear guide rail assembly, and a C-shaped bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider one. Damping grooves are respectively provided on the inner walls of the top and bottom of the C-shaped bracket, and two racks are symmetrically and alternately arranged in the two damping grooves. The two racks mesh with a gear three at the same time, and a support shaft two is fixedly connected to one side of the gear three. A push plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the support shaft two, and a support frame three is movably connected to the outside of the support shaft two. The support frame three is fixedly connected to one side of the C-shaped bracket.

[0009] Two L-shaped hinge frames are symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the C-shaped bracket. A hinge seat three is hinged inside the L-shaped hinge frame, and a square insert rod is inserted into both the L-shaped hinge frame and the hinge seat three. A push frame is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two L-shaped hinge frames respectively, and the two push frames can be respectively attached to the opposite sides of the push plate.

[0010] The linear guide rail assembly has two helical tubes fixedly connected to its outer walls on both sides, and each helical tube is engaged with an internal threaded sleeve. The linear guide rail assembly has two sets of abutment rods on both sides, each set of abutment rods including a long abutment rod and a short abutment rod, and each set of abutment rods is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the internal threaded sleeve.

[0011] The connection between the L-shaped hinge frame and the hinge seat three is simultaneously provided with a square through slot one, and a square insert rod is movably inserted in the square through slot one. The inner wall of the square through slot one is interference-clamped with the square insert rod.

[0012] The long and short push rods connected to the internal threaded sleeve pass through one side of the linear guide assembly. The long and short push rods can be inserted into the damping groove and contact the rack respectively.

[0013] By incorporating an auxiliary steering mechanism, the L-shaped transition plate, being a planar structure, does not affect the material's running state, thus reducing the possibility of material stagnation during transfer. Subsequently, the linear guide rail assembly drives the pusher plate to push the material through the transition mechanism onto conveyor belt two, achieving material steering and transport. The L-shaped transition plate stabilizes falling material, and the stable unidirectional pushing of the pusher plate ensures stable material transport. Furthermore, the short and long abutments allow the pusher plate to move corresponding racks based on its position, causing the two racks to move alternately. Simultaneously, the rotation of gear three drives the pusher plate to a horizontal position, preventing obstruction of material moving onto the L-shaped transition plate. Additionally, by removing or retaining any pusher, short abutment, or long abutment, simultaneous unilateral or staggered pushing on both sides can be achieved to adapt to different conveyor line structures. The adjustment is simple and easy to operate.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom support mechanism includes a hinge frame and a hinge seat, and the hinge frame and hinge seat are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the L-shaped transition plate. The two sides of the hinge frame are respectively hinged with connecting rods, and one end of each connecting rod is movably connected to a circular support plate.

[0015] An eccentric shaft is fixedly connected to one side of each of the circular support plates, and the eccentric shaft is hinged to the connecting rod. Gear 1 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two circular support plates, and hinge seat 2 is movably connected to both sides of gear 1. The hinge seat 2 is fixed to the top of the base plate.

[0016] A second gear is movably connected to the second hinge seat, and the second gear meshes with the first gear. An intermittent motor is fixedly connected to one side of the second gear, and a support shaft is fixedly connected to the other side of the second gear. A synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to one end of the support shaft.

[0017] A support frame is fixedly connected to one side of the hinge seat 2, and a bidirectional lead screw is movably mounted on the support frame 1. A synchronous pulley 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw, and a synchronous belt is sleeved on both the synchronous pulley 2 and the synchronous pulley 1.

[0018] Two nut sliders are symmetrically and movably connected to the bidirectional lead screw, and each nut slider has a connecting rod two hinged to its top. One end of the two connecting rods two is hinged to each other, and the hinge point of the two connecting rods two can abut against the bottom end of the L-shaped transition plate. The top end of the base plate is fixedly connected to a hinge rod, and the hinge rod is hinged to the hinge seat one.

[0019] With a bottom support mechanism, once the material moves onto the L-shaped transition plate, an intermittent motor drives gear two to rotate, causing the L-shaped transition plate to tilt downwards. During this tilting and swaying process, the material's original angle is adjusted so that one side of it adheres to the inner wall of the L-shaped transition plate, thus organizing the material. When the material is pushed and transferred to the transition mechanism by the push plate, the material's position is kept as consistent as possible, further facilitating subsequent processes. In addition, the rotation of gear two drives the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw, changing the angle between the two connecting rods. When the L-shaped transition plate returns to a horizontal state, the hinge point of the two connecting rods rests against the bottom of the L-shaped transition plate as support, thereby increasing the support strength of the L-shaped transition plate to accommodate different material transfers.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the transition mechanism includes a bottom insert plate and a conveyor belt three. The bottom end of the bottom plate is symmetrically provided with slots, the bottom insert plate can be snapped into the slots, and the bottom insert plate is connected to the bottom plate by screws. The top end of the bottom insert plate is fixedly connected with a hinge seat four.

[0021] Multiple hinge rings are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the conveyor belt three, and the hinge seat four is hinged to two of the hinge rings. The other two hinge rings are respectively hinged to the connecting rod three, and the bottom end of each connecting rod three is hinged to a square sliding plate.

[0022] The top of the bottom insert plate is symmetrically fixedly connected to two C-shaped slide grooves, and a square through groove is provided through one side of the C-shaped slide groove. The square slide plate is movably connected in the C-shaped slide groove, and multiple positioning holes are provided through the square slide plate. Each positioning hole is provided with a bolt, and the bolt passes through the square through groove and engages with a nut.

[0023] By incorporating a transition mechanism, this structure is designed to facilitate the transition from conveyor belt one to conveyor belt two. In certain situations, the heights of conveyor belt one and conveyor belt two may differ. Even if they do, if conveyor belt one is higher than the L-shaped transition plate, it cannot be guaranteed that the material can be smoothly transferred from the L-shaped transition plate to conveyor belt two. Therefore, by moving the square sliding plate horizontally within the C-shaped chute, the support position at the bottom of the connecting rod three can be changed laterally. This alters the inclination angle on the other side of conveyor belt three, serving as a material lifting belt to accommodate conveyor belt two at different heights. This structure allows for the use of conveyor belt two at different heights, optimizing the equipment's adaptability.

[0024] As can be seen from the above, the steering structure for automated conveyor lines provided by the present invention has the technical effects of reducing the possibility of material stagnation, ensuring the stability of the steering process, and achieving steering modes in different directions through simple adjustment.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0035] The present invention discloses a steering structure for automated conveyor lines, which is mainly applied to conveyor line steering scenarios.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-4A steering structure for an automated conveyor line includes an L-shaped transition plate 5, a first conveyor belt 1, and a second conveyor belt 7. The first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 7 are arranged vertically, and the L-shaped transition plate 5 is located between the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 7. The top of the first conveyor belt 1 is higher than the height of the L-shaped transition plate 5. An auxiliary steering mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the L-shaped transition plate 5, and a bottom support mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom end of the L-shaped transition plate 5. A bottom plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the bottom support mechanism 3. A transition mechanism 6 is provided between the L-shaped transition plate 5 and the second conveyor belt 7.

[0037] The auxiliary steering mechanism 4 includes a second support frame 406, and a linear guide rail assembly 401 is fixedly connected to the top of the second support frame 406. A first slider 410 is movably connected to the linear guide rail assembly 401, and a C-shaped bracket 413 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first slider 410. Damping grooves 412 are respectively provided on the inner walls of the top and bottom ends of the C-shaped bracket 413. Two racks 419 are symmetrically and alternately arranged in the two damping grooves 412. The two racks 419 simultaneously mesh with a third gear 411. A second support shaft 408 is fixedly connected to one side of the third gear 411. A push plate 407 is fixedly connected to the outside of the second support shaft 408. A third support frame 409 is movably connected to the outside of the second support shaft 408, and the third support frame 409 is fixedly connected to one side of the C-shaped bracket 413.

[0038] Two L-shaped hinge frames 414 are symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the C-shaped bracket 413. A hinge seat 3 417 is hinged inside the L-shaped hinge frame 414, and a square insert rod 416 is inserted into both the L-shaped hinge frame 414 and the hinge seat 3 417. A push frame 418 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two L-shaped hinge frames 414 respectively. The two push frames 418 can be respectively attached to the opposite sides of the push plate 407.

[0039] Two helical tubes 402 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the linear guide rail assembly 401, and each helical tube 402 is respectively engaged with an internal threaded sleeve 404. Two sets of abutment rods are provided on both sides of the linear guide rail assembly 401. Each set of abutment rods includes a long abutment rod 403 and a short abutment rod 405. Each set of abutment rods is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the internal threaded sleeve 404. With the aid of an auxiliary steering mechanism, since the L-shaped transition plate 5 is lower than the conveyor belt 1, it can fall directly onto the L-shaped transition plate 5 after being conveyed by the conveyor belt 1. The planar structure does not affect the material's running state, thus reducing the possibility of material stagnation during transfer. Then, as the linear guide rail assembly 401 drives the slider 410 to translate, the pusher plate 407 pushes the material through the transition mechanism 6 onto the conveyor belt 7, achieving material redirection and transport. Thus, the L-shaped transition plate 5 stabilizes falling material, and the stable unidirectional pushing of the pusher plate 407 ensures the stability of material transport. Furthermore, the short stop bar 405 and the long stop bar 403... With this configuration, when the push plate 407 moves to one side of the linear guide rail assembly 401, the short abutment rod 405 and the long abutment rod 403 can be inserted into the damping groove 412 to push the corresponding rack 419 to move, causing the two racks 419 to move alternately. At the same time, the gear 3 411 rotates, causing the push plate 407 to be in a horizontal state, avoiding obstruction of the material moving onto the L-shaped transition plate 5. When the push plate 407 returns to its position and contacts the short abutment rod 405 and the long abutment rod 403 on the other side, it returns to a vertical state, and one side of it contacts the push frame 418. To ensure stability during the pushing process, the short abutment 405 and the long abutment 403 are fixed based on the meshing structure of the internal threaded sleeve 404 and the screw tube 402. The vertical and horizontal states of the pusher 418 are modified based on the insertion and limiting structure of the square insert 416 to change its limiting function. By disassembling or retaining any pusher 418, short abutment 405 or long abutment 403, the pusher can simultaneously achieve single-sided pushing on different sides or staggered pushing on both sides to adapt to the use of conveyor lines with different structures. The adjustment is simple and easy to operate.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, a square through slot 415 is provided at the connection between the L-shaped hinge frame 414 and the hinge seat 417, and a square rod 416 is movably inserted in the square through slot 415, with the inner wall of the square through slot 415 interference-clamping the square rod 416.

[0041] The long abutment 403 and the short abutment 405 connected to the internal threaded sleeve 404 pass through one side of the linear guide assembly 401. The long abutment 403 and the short abutment 405 can be inserted into the damping groove 412 and contact the rack 419 respectively.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6In a preferred embodiment, the bottom support mechanism 3 includes a hinge frame 307 and a hinge seat 305, and the hinge frame 307 and the hinge seat 305 are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the L-shaped transition plate 5. The two sides of the hinge frame 307 are respectively hinged with connecting rods 301, and one end of the two connecting rods 301 is movably connected to a circular support plate 302.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, an eccentric shaft is fixedly connected to one side of each circular support plate 302, and the eccentric shaft is hinged to the connecting rod 301. Gear 308 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two circular support plates 302, and hinge seat 310 is movably connected to both sides of gear 308. Hinge seat 310 is fixed to the top of the base plate 2.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, a second gear 317 is movably connected to the second hinge seat 310, and the second gear 317 meshes with a first gear 308. An intermittent motor 316 is fixedly connected to one side of the second gear 317, and a support shaft 309 is fixedly connected to the other side of the second gear 317. A synchronous pulley 303 is fixedly connected to one end of the support shaft 309.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, a support frame 311 is fixedly connected to one side of the hinge seat 310, and a bidirectional lead screw 315 is movably arranged on the support frame 311. A synchronous pulley 312 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 315, and a synchronous belt 304 is sleeved on both the synchronous pulley 312 and the synchronous pulley 303.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6In a preferred embodiment, two nut sliders 314 are symmetrically and movably connected to the bidirectional lead screw 315, and each nut slider 314 has a connecting rod 313 hinged to its top. One end of the two connecting rods 313 is hinged to each other, and the hinge point of the two connecting rods 313 can abut against the bottom end of the L-shaped transition plate 5. The top end of the base plate 2 is fixedly connected to a hinge rod 306, and the hinge rod 306 is hinged to the hinge seat 305. When the material moves onto the L-shaped transition plate 5, the gear 317 is rotated by the intermittent motor 316, and the hinge seat 305 is hinged to the hinge rod 306 to limit one side of the L-shaped transition plate 5. The L-shaped transition plate 5 can be tilted downward by the rotation of the meshing gear 308 and the connection between the eccentric shaft and the connecting rod 301. After one revolution, the L-shaped transition plate 5 can return to the horizontal position. During the entire tilting and swaying process, the material can be aligned with the inner wall of the L-shaped transition plate 5 on one side based on its original angle, thereby achieving the function of sorting the material. When it is pushed and transferred to the transition mechanism 6 by the push plate 407, the position of the material can be kept as consistent as possible, which further facilitates the operation of subsequent processes. In addition, when the gear 2 317 rotates, the bidirectional lead screw 315 can be driven to rotate by the synchronous wheel 1 303, synchronous wheel 2 312 and synchronous belt 304, which drives the nut slider 314 to move relative to or towards each other, changing the included angle between the two connecting rods 2 313. When the L-shaped transition plate 5 returns to the horizontal state, the hinge of the two connecting rods 2 313 just abuts against the bottom end of the L-shaped transition plate 5 as support, thereby improving the support strength of the L-shaped transition plate 5 to adapt to different material transfer applications.

[0047] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In a preferred embodiment, the transition mechanism 6 includes a bottom insert plate 602 and a conveyor belt 606. The bottom end of the bottom plate 2 is symmetrically provided with slots 601. The bottom insert plate 602 can be snapped into the slots 601, and the bottom insert plate 602 is connected to the bottom plate 2 by screws. The top end of the bottom insert plate 602 is fixedly connected with a hinge seat 603.

[0048] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In a preferred embodiment, multiple hinge rings 605 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the conveyor belt 606, and the hinge seat 603 is hinged to two of the hinge rings 605. The other two hinge rings 605 are respectively hinged to connecting rods 604, and the bottom end of each connecting rod 604 is hinged to a square slide plate 608.

[0049] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8In a preferred embodiment, two C-shaped grooves 609 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the bottom insert plate 602, and a square through-groove 610 is provided through one side of the C-shaped groove 609. A square sliding plate 608 is movably connected in the C-shaped groove 609, and a plurality of positioning holes 607 are provided through the square sliding plate 608. A bolt is provided in each positioning hole 607, and the bolt passes through the square through-groove 610 and engages with a nut. Since this structure is designed to realize the turning transition from conveyor belt 1 to conveyor belt 7, under certain circumstances, the height of conveyor belt 1 and the height of conveyor belt 7 are not consistent. Even if they are consistent, if conveyor belt 1 is higher than the L-shaped transition plate 5, it cannot be guaranteed that the material can be smoothly transferred from the L-shaped transition plate 5 to the conveyor belt 7. By moving the square slide plate 608 within the C-shaped chute 609, the support position of the bottom end of the connecting rod 604 can be changed laterally. Based on the positioning effect of the hinge seat 603 on one side of the conveyor belt 606, the tilt angle of the other side of the conveyor belt 606 can be changed to serve as a material climbing belt to adapt to the different heights of the conveyor belt 7. With this structure, it can be used for conveyor belts 7 of different heights. By inserting bolts into the positioning holes 607 and tightening the nuts to clamp and fix the square slide plate 608, the climbing height of the conveyor belt 606 can be easily adjusted, thus optimizing the adaptability of the equipment and reducing the difficulty of adjustment. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​between the bottom insert plate 602 and the slot 601 can also achieve direct positioning and ensure the stability of the fixation.

[0050] Working principle of the invention:

[0051] Since the L-shaped transition plate 5 is positioned lower than the conveyor belt 1, the material can fall directly onto the L-shaped transition plate 5 after being conveyed by the conveyor belt 1. Because the L-shaped transition plate 5 is a planar structure, it does not affect the material's running state, thus reducing the possibility of material stagnation during transfer. Then, as the linear guide rail assembly 401 drives the slider 410 to move horizontally, the pusher plate 407 pushes the material through the transition mechanism 6 onto the conveyor belt 7, achieving material redirection and transport. Therefore, the L-shaped transition plate 5 stabilizes the falling material, and the pusher plate 407 provides stable pushing in one direction, ensuring the stability of material transport. Furthermore, based on the short abutment rod 405 and the long abutment rod 403, when the pusher plate 407 moves to one side of the linear guide rail assembly 401, the short abutment rod 405 and the long abutment rod 403 can insert into the damping groove 412 to push the corresponding rack 419 to move. The two racks 419 move alternately, while the gear 3 411 rotates, causing the push plate 407 to be in a horizontal state, thus avoiding obstruction of the material moving onto the L-shaped transition plate 5. When the push plate 407 returns to its position and contacts the short abutment 405 and long abutment 403 on the other side, it returns to a vertical state, and one side contacts the push frame 418 to ensure stability during the pushing process. The short abutment 405 and long abutment 403 are fixed by the meshing structure of the internal threaded sleeve 404 and the screw tube 402, and the vertical and horizontal states of the push frame 418 are modified by the structure of the square insert 416 for insertion and limiting, so as to change its limiting function. By disassembling or retaining any push frame 418, short abutment 405 or long abutment 403, the push of different sides on both sides can be realized simultaneously, or the push of both sides can be alternately pushed, to adapt to the use of conveyor lines with different structures. The adjustment is simple and easy to operate.
